At the age of sixteen, Jiang Wan fell ill. When she recovered, she found that there were two new sentences in her diary which was undoubtedly her handwriting.... more>>

——My future wife is called Bei Huai, she is very nice, and I love her very much.

——Go to No.13 middle school, go to Xiao Bei, accompany her and protect her.

Because of curiosity and unknown emotions, Jiang Wan transferred to Bei Huai’s school.

On her first day of school, she ran into a few students who were scaling over the wall, dressed as punks, similar to bad students.

Noticing her gaze, the most eye-catching girl who seemed to be the ringleader casually squinted over. With a haughty voice seeming to hold an unending coldness,

she said, “What are you looking at?”

Jiang Wan lowered his eyelids and felt that she disliked this bold type of student the most in her heart.

Before she could think about it, she saw the dean of education running from a distance, pointing at the girl, and shouting like thunder: “Bei Huai, get back here! You skipped class again to sneak out of school!”

Jiang Wan: “…”

Wait, this name… seems familiar? <<less

“Senpai, won’t you help me get revenge on this school?”... more>>

Abuse, mistreatment, and discrimination based on academic abilities. Twisted values rule over this preparatory high school with no hope in sight. But one day, a mysterious girl appears to offer me her hand, possessing a mischievous smile, and hiding her dyed silver-gray inner hair from the school—Her name? Hoshimiya Kurumi.

“I’m going to drop out of this school. But, I don’t want to spend the rest of my time just running away…So, Senpai? Let’s destroy this school together?”

Unable to decline, I have no other choice but to assist in her ploy, as we spend our days plotting our revenge, preparing to start our act of terrorism. Spitting in the face of the school’s prohibition of relationships, we bring our guilt together, our lips pressed on the other’s, as we revel in this feeling of guilty pleasure.

“Senpai, don’t you think that a kiss is a proper way of rebelling against these regulations?”

This is our—the mischievous youngsters’—act of revenge as we cast aside common sense and hopes of a bright student life…All to start a fight to end the adults’ tyranny. <<less

Kou Chen, the transfer student that liked to boast. There were all sorts of rumours about him: that he had a good family background. That the reason he'd transferred from far away was because he'd hit a teacher. That he was exceptionally good at fighting.

These two, who had clashed during a basketball match in the previous semester and were left with unfavorable impressions of each other, have now been allocated into the same class.

Would sparks fly?

As a result of a combination of various misfortunes, Shiki ended up attending a famous delinquent school... more>>

――St. Lukimantz Academy.

Shiki was a herbivore thrown into the cage of a predator called ‘Delinquents’.

He himself was not the type of boy who would be bullied, and in fact, until junior high school, he had lived a life free from bullying.

However, his sense of justice and more-than-slightly good-natured personality led him to be noticed by one of the many gangs of delinquents in the school.

For a year after that, Shiki was bullied by the delinquents and lived a hellish life.

One day, he almost collided with the strongest Yankee gal in the school, Karin Kohinata, called the [Empress] in front of a vending machine.

As a result, Shiki’s school life changes drastically. <<less

System: Are you ready to become the most formidable youth delinquent?

Skipping classes? No problem. He would make his exit in the last five minutes of each class.

System: Hey!!!

Staying overnight in internet cafes? No problem. The evening news played throughout the night.

Internet café netizens: ???

When he received a challenge to meet in a small grove at 10:30, Sheng Yuan found himself in a difficult situation and expressed his inability to go.

Opponent: “What? Are you scared?!”

Sheng Yuan: “No, it’s just that my home has a curfew at half past ten.”

Opponent: “…”

He had a cong**ital hearing impairment and relied on a hearing aid to perceive the sounds of the outside world. Coincidentally, his hearing aid was broken when he met Sheng Yuan. He saw the youth standing under the shade of a verdant tree, and Sheng Yuan uttered a few words to him:

“I like you.”

Yu Zuojin rejected him on the spot.

Sheng Yuan: “Classmate, you dropped some money.”

Yu Zuojin: “I don’t need it.”

Sheng Yuan: ?

“In that case, it’s mine,” Sheng Yuan said. (Slips it into his pocket.) <<less

The two private high schools have merged. The big bosses/fish of both schools find one another displeasing to the eye, and engage in both open and hidden conflict.... more>>

Sui Houyu looked at his counterpart and curled his lips disdainfully: He puts on such airs but can’t behave like a person.

Hou Mo stared back and sneered: Quite the Helen of Troy isn’t he – pretty enough to start wars over, and has quite the temper. Forget about being the most handsome guy in the school, you can be the school belle.

Sui Houyu had a manic mood disorder and severe insomnia but found that as long as he was close to Hou Mo, he could fall asleep. From then on, Hou Mo had an additional little grumpy monster by his side.

After winning a doubles tennis match, the partners who then would arrange to duel/fight against one another on the rooftop, could only be Sui Houyu and Hou Mo. After their teammates found out about the matter, they were filled with anxiety.

After some time, Sui Houyu returned with his lips were slightly swollen, and the corners of his mouth bruised, causing everyone to be furious with Hou Mo on his behalf.

When Hou Mo returned to the class, he had tooth marks on his throat and had lost two buttons on the top of his shirt. He quickly explained to Sui Houyu: “I really didn’t smile at any girls while we were playing. That’s just how my face looks.”

Everyone can disperse now…

Interviewer: Please use four words to describe what you think about him?

Hou Mo: I like him so much that I can’t stop touching him/ put him down.

Reporter: What sort of hobbies do you have?

Sui Hou Yu: Beating up monkeys.²

On her birthday, Jiang Yumo discovered that she was living in a campus novel, and she was the first love of the male lead’s rival, Duan Ye.... more>>

Both the male lead and Duan Ye were notorious troublemakers in Fifth High School. They wouldn’t even look at each other and were considered deadly rivals.

Under the influence of the rational and intelligent female lead, the male protagonist returned to his family and inherited a multi-billion-yuan business, becoming the successful Young Master Zhou.

On the other hand, Duan Ye came from an ordinary family, had poor grades, and was too lazy to attend university. After graduation, he opened a car repair shop to make a living. Unlike the beautiful love story between the male and female leads, Duan Ye and his first love broke up countless times, leading some readers to sigh that this was the realistic outcome for underachieving students.

Jiang Yumo : ?

***

Duan Ye noticed that Jiang Yumo had been acting a bit strange lately. She would either ask him to copy her notes, but end up getting sick from doing the exercises by herself, or suggest that he help her become the first batch of online celebrities, and ask all his friends to follow and comment on her posts…

He had no choice but to accompany her.

However, he never thought that she would suddenly try to flatter a dog man named Zhou Ji.

Duan Ye : I’m a man, I can’t stand it!

Seeing his angry expression, she tentatively asked, “If I don’t go, can you try to flatter him instead?”

Duan Ye : I’m going to f*cking kill Zhou Ji :) <<less

Late at night, Yan Qing drove across the cross-river bridge, who would have anchored halfway.... more>>

At a glance, she saw a handsome man standing not far away, so she stepped forward for help, but she never thought of—

The man actually grabbed the railing, raised his long legs, and was about to jump off the bridge.

Yan Qing felt like a dream.

However, she pulls it out and saves Huo Yunshen, who is ruthless in the outside world.

However, this Huo family boss is seriously inconsistent with imagination.

Not only was he inexplicably haunting his wife, she was treated like a treasure, he even fell on her knees, his eyes were scarlet, he stubbornly begged her:

“Qingqing, don’t leave me anymore.”

—

Rumors have it that the President Huo wife is dead and loved, so he will be cold and unsympathetic, and do not even look at women.

Didn’t expect a little star who made her debut soon to embrace his thigh? !

Insiders proclaimed everywhere: “It’s just a stand-in that looks like old love, what’s to be proud of!”

Before long, “Little Star” Yan Qing held the grand prize and smiled sweetly in front of the camera: “Formally clarify, Mr. Huo’s old love is me.”

That night, Huo Yunshen came to the scene personally, took off his coat and wrapped her in his arms. Facing countless reporters, he only said:

“There is no new love and old love, she is the only one in my life.”

—

Yan Qing did not know that she had lost her memory.

She don’t know …

There is a man in this world who, in the three years since she lost her life, is as insane as it is dead. <<less

The little blind girl was stopped by a group of delinquents on the way home from school. The group of boys groped her breasts and even wanted to check if she was a virg*n. The little blind girl was so angry that she took out chili powder and sprayed it all over, then turned around and ran. She was completely lost and was almost hit by a car. One of the delinquents rushed over and hugged her, pointed at her and scolding in a loud voice, “Are you blind! Why did you run onto the road!”... more>>

Yes, she was blind. The little blind girl burst into tears, her throat choking up, and the soft cloth on her eyes slipped off.

The delinquent boy looked straight at her, “f*ck me?”

“Let go… of me.” The little blind girl struggled against him.

The delinquent boy looked at her pretty face and gulped, “What’s your name? Tell me, and I’ll let you go.”

“…S-Su Ruan.” The little blind girl cried.

“f*ck…” The delinquent boy l**ked the tip of his teeth and looked down at the tent in his pants. His voice had even become a little hoarse. “What a coincidence. My name is Hella Hard.” <<less

The first time Shi Nian Nian met Jiang Wang was at the entrance of the police station. The young man’s expression was pale without any emotions, and he was morbidly white.... more>>

Later, she learned that Jiang Wang was the son of the school director who broke the news in First Middle School last year. He had a hearing problem, and was imprisoned for half a year.

Shi Nian Nian thought that Jiang Wang was the number one troublemaker she had to stay away from.

Shi Nian Nian thought that she would never see any sort of emotion on Jiang Wang’s face.

Until she saw the enraptured look on Jiang Wang’s face.

The smell of wine on the young man’s body was mixed with the smell of soap on his clothes. It evoked an unusual sense of flirtatiousness in the atmosphere.

His jaw tightened, his eyes lowered, and he whispered in her ear with restraint and forbearance——

“Hey, little stutterer. I’m a little drunk on wine, and now I have this really strong urge to kiss you. Can I?”

**

After they had grown up.

Jiang Wang had become the stern and ruthless businessman with a chokehold over the business world. He was cold-blooded, brutal, and had no interest in women. Everybody knew that provoking Mr. Jiang was the same as seeking death.

That was until the end of the charity dinner that day, as the man was being escorted by the crowd, his gaze suddenly stopped.

His pace quickened, and he made his way through the crowd toward the person by the roadside. He pulled her in by the waist, leaned over, and buried his head in her neck.

Everyone was stunned. They were accustomed to seeing him dominate the business world, but now he held someone tightly in his arms in such an unimaginably subservient manner.

The woman lifted her hand and gently stroked his hair. Softly, she said, “Jiang Wang.”

He cursed in a low voice, unable to contain his choked-up emotions, “Didn’t think you knew to come back.”

The next second, his shoulders began to tremble, as if sobbing.

If there is only one pure and clean soul in this world, regardless of whether she becomes tainted by sin, she would only belong to me.

You are my delusion, my thoughts never forgotten.

The world condemned me to hell.

But you liberated me. <<less

Despite his outer appearance of a kind model student, Kang Jun was filled to the brim with an inferiority complex.

As he advanced into his second year, he grew closer to Go Yohan, who was in the same class as him.

“I’ll treat you especially different.”

At some point, as if it were only natural, Go Yohan claimed his seat at the very summit of the pyramid inside the school.

He, whose second nature seemed to be ignoring and suppressing others, showed interest in Kang Jun.

Kang Jun, who was subtly ignored by his friends for being weak, didn’t dislike Go Yohan’s interest, but…

Eighteen, the period where one’s pride took the lead and held fear of crossing the line.

Kang Jun had to make a choice to survive.

A very wise choice. <<less
